Re: Table Numbering

I'm using Lyx 1.4.1 for Mac btw. Does anyone have an idea how I could fix this? This happens if you have two captions inside a float. (Which may be a valid thing to do, for example when having two numbered tables side-by-side.) This sometimes happens accidentally like this: 1. You insert a table float. The empty paragraph inside the new float is of type caption 2. During editing, the caption paragraph is split by pressing enter. Now there are two paragraphs in there, both of type caption. Perhaps one is the real caption and the other contains the table. The paragraph containing the table (or figure) inside a float should not be of the caption type. Helge Hafting

That, I continue to believe, is a worthwhile goal. Everybody, including lyx developers, want an easier way to create layout files. Possibly some GUI thing. Now, if you had that, could you adjust a layout without understanding latex commands? You could, to some extent. Such a layout editor or in-lyx format edit could let you specify that you want section headings in italics, for example. So some adjustments would then be easy. Often enough, you will run up against latex though. Want to use an extra package which implements something useful with commands of its own? Then you definitely need to add those commands in the layout editor. So, a layout editor would allow simple adjustments to paragraph types - adjustments that lyx already can do on a case by case basis using the edit menu. Anything more, and latex knowledge becomes necessary. A layout editor still have the advantage that you don't also need knowledge of the lyx-specific .layout file format. Any latex guy would be able to use it to its full power. Helge Hafting You certainly know more about this than I do, so I'll phrase the next point as a question rather than as an objection. The *layouts* package: user manual by Peter R. Wilson layman.pdf The layouts package enables the display of various elements of a document's layout including: the general page layout; disposition of floats; layout of paragraphs, lists, footnotes, table of contents, and sectional headings; font boxes. Facilities are provided for a document designer to experiment with the layout parameters. SH: I think this user manual would be required reading for creating a new .layout file? Do you think the information contained is inappropriate for LyX and belongs in a LyX menu? The layout package is something completely different. It is a latex package for experimenting with page layouts. A .layout file for lyx has _nothing_ to do with this package, other than using the word layout. A lyx .layout file mainly describes what paragraph types is available for documents of that sort, as well as how those paragraph types should be presented in the lyx editor and what latex code should be generated when lyx creates latex code for printing. (Paragraph types are things like standard, enumeration, bullet list, and headings in various levels.) Helge Hafting

memoir class with index works on Miktex, not in tetex. Why?
Hi,
I am trying to find why things work in Miktex (windows) but refuse to
work in tetex (Linux, Slackware 10.2).
I get an error in Linux:
LaTeX Error: Command \see already defined.
LaTeX Error: Command \printindex already defined.
I have noticed that when I export to a latex file and comment
\usepackage{makeidx} and run a normal latex sequence (latex, makeindex,
latex, latex) things work fine. See the source of a sample lyx file
below. It looks like (my??) memoir class on linux already has some
definitions.
On windows LyX work fine out of the box.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do get things working from lyx
directly?

RE: memoir class with index works on Miktex, not in tetex. Why?
I just found out on miktex the normal sequence (latex, makeindex, latex,
latex) also works when \usepackage{makeidx} is removed. Thus; does lyx
add a package too much when using the memoir class? The memoir class
menual also states NOT to use {makeidx}.

Not really. The problem is that makeindex creates an empty *.idx file after
the first latex run, which will then be filled after the second latex run.
LyX, however, decides after the first latex run whether makeindex should be
called. It doesn't run that program if the *.idx file is empty (as is the
case with memoir).
A workaround to get the index is to view dvi, then change something in the
file, and then view dvi/ps/pdf again.
HTH,
Jürgen

Sharing layout files
Hi, since on one hand people are all the time asking for layouts for thisthat and on the other hand there are surely a lot of people who have already written their own layout files I'm wondering how we could share those layout files. Should we simply add our layout files to the LyX wiki (http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Layouts)? If yes, then why are there almost no layout files available? (I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes by asking this question.) Is there a policy for adding layout files (e.g. only layout files which don't require homebrewn style or class files) which many homebrewn layout files probably don't comply with? Anyway, I'm just asking because the layout file(s) I've used for my thesis might be of general interest because they are for scrbook + ntheorem + enumerate. I've already sent them to the list a few days ago (at least I think I've sent them to the list) but it's probably easier for others to get them from the Wiki then from the list archive.

Trouble with eps inclusions in lyx-1.4.1
I just ran into a really weird lyx problem on Fedora Core 5 and tetex-3.0-19. It is so interesting I want to share and ask for help: http://pj.freefaculty.org/latex/weirdRotations-lyx.tar.gz That tarball has a lyx file and 3 eps files that I generated with R. Two of the eps files are in landscape mode, one is portrait (horizontal). By default, R generates eps files in landscape mode and using some interfaces for R, it is more-or-less difficult to make them come out in portrait mode. So it might be useful to have a good dependable way in LyX to manage eps files that are in landscape mode. If you open the LyX document and view that in dvi, ps2pdf, pdflatex, and dvipdfm, the treatment of the eps graphics is different in each one. The dvi output is about what I expect, but pdflatex turns the graphs so they are right side up, ps2pdf turns the figure titles on the right side in lanscape mode, and dvipdfm does something else altogether. If I rotate the images so they are right side up in dvi mode, then the pdf output is also excitingly different. And it is not a good kind of excitement. If you would please download this and test it out, I would be glad to hear if you see the same troubles. Because a lot of my work depends on being able to create pdf files that are accurate representations of the dvi/ps files that LyX creates. -- Paul E.

i did'nt use that kind of bibliography (dunno howto use it)
i use only simple bibliography at the top-left of LyX

well then, i need TOC list of acknowlegement page,
a preface page, abstract, and a title page...
any idea, please ??
i use this

it should be number 2 at my document. The page number

and howto add like this

Re: Trouble with eps inclusions in lyx-1.4.1
Paul Johnson wrote: I just ran into a really weird lyx problem on Fedora Core 5 and tetex-3.0-19. It is so interesting I want to share and ask for help: http://pj.freefaculty.org/latex/weirdRotations-lyx.tar.gz That tarball has a lyx file and 3 eps files that I generated with R. Two of the eps files are in landscape mode, one is portrait (horizontal). By default, R generates eps files in landscape mode and using some interfaces for R, it is more-or-less difficult to make them come out in portrait mode. So it might be useful to have a good dependable way in LyX to manage eps files that are in landscape mode. If you open the LyX document and view that in dvi, ps2pdf, pdflatex, and dvipdfm, the treatment of the eps graphics is different in each one. The dvi output is about what I expect, but pdflatex turns the graphs so they are right side up, ps2pdf turns the figure titles on the right side in lanscape mode, and dvipdfm does something else altogether. If I rotate the images so they are right side up in dvi mode, then the pdf output is also excitingly different. And it is not a good kind of excitement. If you would please download this and test it out, I would be glad to hear if you see the same troubles. Because a lot of my work depends on being able to create pdf files that are accurate representations of the dvi/ps files that LyX creates. I tested this on Windows 1.3.7v3 and 1.4.2svn and Cygwin1.4.0 It didn't look right. .eps are not supposed to be displayed in pdflatex at all, it is not a supported image (needs converting). Cygwin which uses a Linux like xpdf crashed when viewing under all three modes. Will test later on FC4. That you got a pdflatex display at all and that my CygLyX crashed makes me think that there is something wrong with the .eps file (how they were made). Regards, Stephen

(Which may be a valid thing to do, for example when having two numbered tables side-by-side.) This sometimes happens accidentally like this: 1. You insert a table float. The empty paragraph inside the new float is of type caption 2. During editing, the caption paragraph is split by pressing enter. Now there are two paragraphs in there, both of type caption. Perhaps one is the real caption and the other contains the table. The paragraph containing the table (or figure) inside a float should not be of the caption type. Helge Hafting

Stephen Harris wrote: Helge Hafting wrote: David Neeley wrote: Personally, I did not respond to the idea that the menus should be Word-like--what I was focused on was the idea of having a bit more ability to create layout adjustments from controls in the menu system. That, I continue to believe, is a worthwhile goal. Everybody, including lyx developers, want an easier way to create layout files. Possibly some GUI thing. Now, if you had that, could you adjust a layout without understanding latex commands? You could, to some extent. Such a layout editor or in-lyx format edit could let you specify that you want section headings in italics, for example. So some adjustments would then be easy. Often enough, you will run up against latex though. Want to use an extra package which implements something useful with commands of its own? Then you definitely need to add those commands in the layout editor. So, a layout editor would allow simple adjustments to paragraph types - adjustments that lyx already can do on a case by case basis using the edit menu. Anything more, and latex knowledge becomes necessary. A layout editor still have the advantage that you don't also need knowledge of the lyx-specific .layout file format. Any latex guy would be able to use it to its full power. Helge Hafting You certainly know more about this than I do, so I'll phrase the next point as a question rather than as an objection. The *layouts* package: user manual by Peter R. Wilson layman.pdf The layouts package enables the display of various elements of a document's layout including: the general page layout; disposition of floats; layout of paragraphs, lists, footnotes, table of contents, and sectional headings; font boxes. Facilities are provided for a document designer to experiment with the layout parameters. SH: I think this user manual would be required reading for creating a new .layout file? Do you think the information contained is inappropriate for LyX and belongs in a LyX menu? The layout package is something completely different. It is a latex package for experimenting with page layouts. A .layout file for lyx has _nothing_ to do with this package, other than using the word layout. A lyx .layout file mainly describes what paragraph types is available for documents of that sort, as well as how those paragraph types should be presented in the lyx editor and what latex code should be generated when lyx creates latex code for printing. (Paragraph types are things like standard, enumeration, bullet list, and headings in various levels.) Helge Hafting

memoir class with index works on Miktex, not in tetex. Why?
Hi,

work in tetex (Linux, Slackware 10.2).
I get an error in Linux:
LaTeX Error: Command \see already defined.
LaTeX Error: Command \printindex already defined.

\usepackage{makeidx} and run a normal latex sequence (latex, makeindex,
latex, latex) things work fine. See the source of a sample lyx file
below. It looks like (my??) memoir class on linux already has some
definitions.
On windows LyX work fine out of the box.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do get things working from lyx
directly?

I just found out on miktex the normal sequence (latex, makeindex, latex,

add a package too much when using the memoir class? The memoir class
menual also states NOT to use {makeidx}.

Not really. The problem is that makeindex creates an empty *.idx file after
the first latex run, which will then be filled after the second latex run.
LyX, however, decides after the first latex run whether makeindex should be
called. It doesn't run that program if the *.idx file is empty (as is the
case with memoir).
A workaround to get the index is to view dvi, then change something in the
file, and then view dvi/ps/pdf again.
HTH,
Jürgen

Sharing layout files
Hi, since on one hand people are all the time asking for layouts for thisthat and on the other hand there are surely a lot of people who have already written their own layout files I'm wondering how we could share those layout files. Should we simply add our layout files to the LyX wiki (http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Layouts)? If yes, then why are there almost no layout files available? (I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes by asking this question.) Is there a policy for adding layout files (e.g. only layout files which don't require homebrewn style or class files) which many homebrewn layout files probably don't comply with? Anyway, I'm just asking because the layout file(s) I've used for my thesis might be of general interest because they are for scrbook + ntheorem + enumerate. I've already sent them to the list a few days ago (at least I think I've sent them to the list) but it's probably easier for others to get them from the Wiki then from the list archive.

Re: Sharing layout files
On Mon, 29 May 2006, Ingo Klöcker wrote: since on one hand people are all the time asking for layouts for thisthat and on the other hand there are surely a lot of people who have already written their own layout files I'm wondering how we could share those layout files. Should we simply add our layout files to the LyX wiki http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Layouts Hi Ingo That's my suggestion, and you might also wish to announce it to this list. If yes, then why are there almost no layout files available? (I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes by asking this question.) You ask a very good question, and to be honest I have no idea whatsoever why people aren't sharing their layouts, but here's two gueses: * People feel that their layout isn't good enough... * People feel that it's too difficult to upload the layout... Is there a policy for adding layout files (e.g. only layout files which don't require homebrewn style or class files) which many homebrewn layout files probably don't comply with? Just to be perfectly clear: * Everybody are more than welcome to add their layouts to the wiki * The layout can be about anything, or require additional packages. (If you're nice, you'll also upload a copy of the package, or give a link to the required package) * It is not difficult to upload the layout. And if you do run into some problem, I, or others on this list, will be happy to help you. * There is no minimum quality level on your layout, if it works for you, it might well be useful for others! Anyway, I'm just asking because the layout file(s) I've used for my thesis might be of general interest because they are for scrbook + ntheorem + enumerate. I've already sent them to the list a few days ago (at least I think I've sent them to the list) but it's probably easier for others to get them from the Wiki then from the list archive. Definitely. Why don't you have a go at adding the layout to the wiki. Please try adding it yourself first, and if/when you run into problems I'll help. Then I can also try and improve the instructions so that it's easier for the next person. regards /Christian PS.

LyX 1.4.1 Translates 1.3.4? Excalibur
Two easy questions for the LyXers on the list: 1 I've read that LyX/Mac 1.4.1 can read LyX/Mac 1.3.7 files. Can it also read 1.3.4 files? 2 The MacTex download includes the latex-aware spell checker Excalibur. Can Excalibur be used to spellcheck in LyX/Mac? Or is Aspell the way to go? Thanks for the help.

No. BTW where do these files live once installed -- can I check if they're there or not? The font files are in Windows\fonts directory. Their names are msbm.ttf etc. regards Uwe
Trouble with eps inclusions in lyx-1.4.1
I just ran into a really weird lyx problem on Fedora Core 5 and tetex-3.0-19. It is so interesting I want to share and ask for help: http://pj.freefaculty.org/latex/weirdRotations-lyx.tar.gz That tarball has a lyx file and 3 eps files that I generated with R. Two of the eps files are in landscape mode, one is portrait (horizontal). By default, R generates eps files in landscape mode and using some interfaces for R, it is more-or-less difficult to make them come out in portrait mode. So it might be useful to have a good dependable way in LyX to manage eps files that are in landscape mode. If you open the LyX document and view that in dvi, ps2pdf, pdflatex, and dvipdfm, the treatment of the eps graphics is different in each one. The dvi output is about what I expect, but pdflatex turns the graphs so they are right side up, ps2pdf turns the figure titles on the right side in lanscape mode, and dvipdfm does something else altogether. If I rotate the images so they are right side up in dvi mode, then the pdf output is also excitingly different. And it is not a good kind of excitement. If you would please download this and test it out, I would be glad to hear if you see the same troubles. Because a lot of my work depends on being able to create pdf files that are accurate representations of the dvi/ps files that LyX creates. -- Paul E.

(Which may be a valid thing to do, for example when having two numbered tables side-by-side.) This sometimes happens accidentally like this: 1. You insert a table float. The empty paragraph inside the new float is of type "caption" 2. During editing, the caption paragraph is split by pressing enter. Now there are two paragraphs in there, both of type "caption". Perhaps one is the real caption and the other contains the table. The paragraph containing the table (or figure) inside a float should not be of the "caption" type. Helge Hafting
Re: A debate topic: What can LyX still learn from scientific workplace?
Stephen Harris wrote: Helge Hafting wrote: David Neeley wrote: Personally, I did not respond to the idea that the menus should be "Word-like"--what I was focused on was the idea of having a bit more ability to create layout adjustments from controls in the menu system. That, I continue to believe, is a worthwhile goal. Everybody, including lyx developers, want an easier way to create layout files. Possibly some GUI thing. Now, if you had that, could you adjust a layout without understanding latex commands? You could, to some extent. Such a "layout editor" or in-lyx "format edit" could let you specify that you want section headings in italics, for example. So some adjustments would then be easy. Often enough, you will run up against latex though. Want to use an extra package which implements something useful with commands of its own? Then you definitely need to add those commands in the layout editor. So, a layout editor would allow simple adjustments to paragraph types - adjustments that lyx already can do on a case by case basis using the edit menu. Anything more, and latex knowledge becomes necessary. A layout editor still have the advantage that you don't also need knowledge of the lyx-specific .layout file format. Any latex guy would be able to use it to its full power. Helge Hafting You certainly know more about this than I do, so I'll phrase the next point as a question rather than as an objection. The *layouts* package: user manual by Peter R. Wilson layman.pdf "The layouts package enables the display of various elements of a document's layout including: the general page layout; disposition of floats; layout of paragraphs, lists, footnotes, table of contents, and sectional headings; font boxes. Facilities are provided for a document designer to experiment with the layout parameters." SH: I think this user manual would be required reading for creating a new .layout file? Do you think the information contained is inappropriate for LyX and belongs in a LyX menu? The layout package is something completely different. It is a latex package for experimenting with page layouts. A .layout file for lyx has _nothing_ to do with this package, other than using the word "layout". A lyx .layout file mainly describes what paragraph types is available for documents of that sort, as well as how those paragraph types should be presented in the lyx editor and what latex code should be generated when lyx creates latex code for printing. (Paragraph types are things like standard, enumeration, bullet list, and headings in various levels.) Helge Hafting

memoir class with index works on Miktex, not in tetex. Why?
Hi,
I am trying to find why things work in Miktex (windows) but refuse to
work in tetex (Linux, Slackware 10.2).
I get an error in Linux:
LaTeX Error: Command \see already defined.
LaTeX Error: Command \printindex already defined.
I have noticed that when I export to a latex file and comment
\usepackage{makeidx} and run a normal latex sequence (latex, makeindex,
latex, latex) things work fine. See the source of a sample lyx file
below. It looks like (my??) memoir class on linux already has some
definitions.
On windows LyX work fine out of the box.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do get things working from lyx
directly?

I just found out on miktex the normal sequence (latex, makeindex, latex,

add a package too much when using the memoir class? The memoir class
menual also states NOT to use {makeidx}.

Several things need to be done. First, you have to add ProvidesMakeidx1 to the memoir.layout file. Then, the makeindex package is not loaded. However, LyX currently does not run the makeindex program in this case. This needs to be fixed in the sources. So you're probably stuck with running latex and makeindex manually untill the next release. Please file a bug report on bugzilla if this bug has not been reported yet. Jürgen

Not really. The problem is that makeindex creates an empty *.idx file after
the first latex run, which will then be filled after the second latex run.
LyX, however, decides after the first latex run whether makeindex should be
called. It doesn't run that program if the *.idx file is empty (as is the
case with memoir).
A workaround to get the index is to view dvi, then change something in the
file, and then view dvi/ps/pdf again.
HTH,
Jürgen

Sharing layout files
Hi, since on one hand people are all the time asking for layouts for this and on the other hand there are surely a lot of people who have already written their own layout files I'm wondering how we could share those layout files. Should we simply add our layout files to the LyX wiki (http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Layouts)? If yes, then why are there almost no layout files available? (I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes by asking this question.) Is there a policy for adding layout files (e.g. only layout files which don't require homebrewn style or class files) which many homebrewn layout files probably don't comply with? Anyway, I'm just asking because the layout file(s) I've used for my thesis might be of general interest because they are for scrbook + ntheorem + enumerate. I've already sent them to the list a few days ago (at least I think I've sent them to the list) but it's probably easier for others to get them from the Wiki then from the list archive.

However the next configure went OK (I mean, found pgf quickly allright), - on a 2000 machine, i got exactly your behaviour, I got the message about lyxrc.default ai installation time, and no lyx configuration was run (and thus no user dir was created). Is seems that configure fails so early that lyxrc.defaults is not created, which stops configuration. As 1.3.7 installed fine, I use the following workaround: - copy 1.3.7 lyxrc.default to 1.4.1 system tree (in C:\Program Files\LyX141\Resources) - run sh configure from there in a Msys window. I guess Uwe will investigate, anyway it seems that the lyxrc.default file disappears completely in 1.4.2. HTH -- Jean-Pierre

You have to use the fancyheader package, see http://www.ctan.org/tex-
archive/macros/latex/contrib/fancyhdr/fancyhdr.pdf
An example is given here: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-
[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg47016.html
I think you should write the following in the preamble:
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\rhead{}
\lhead{}
\rfoot{\thepage}
\lfoot{}
\cfoot{}
and \thispagestyle{fancy} using ERT at the start of the first line of the page.
BTW, http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2535 is an enhancemanet
suggestion for this. Vote for this bug and it may be implemented.

Later I uninstalled 1.4.2 using the uninstaller and then reinstalled to a different directory (not the default as in the first case). When I reinstalled LyX and ran TeX Information the second time, the information appeared immediately. Which seems to mean that the lyxrc type of content is being stored somewhere under a different filename. Stephen

Should we simply add our layout files to the LyX wiki http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Layouts Hi Ingo That's my suggestion, and you might also wish to announce it to this list. If yes, then why are there almost no layout files available? (I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes by asking this question.) You ask a very good question, and to be honest I have no idea whatsoever why people aren't sharing their layouts, but here's two gueses: * People feel that their layout isn't "good" enough... * People feel that it's too difficult to upload the layout... Is there a policy for adding layout files (e.g. only layout files which don't require homebrewn style or class files) which many homebrewn layout files probably don't comply with? Just to be perfectly clear: * Everybody are more than welcome to add their layouts to the wiki * The layout can be about anything, or require additional packages. (If you're nice, you'll also upload a copy of the package, or give a link to the required package) * It is not difficult to upload the layout. And if you do run into some problem, I, or others on this list, will be happy to help you. * There is no minimum quality level on your layout, if it works for you, it might well be useful for others! Anyway, I'm just asking because the layout file(s) I've used for my thesis might be of general interest because they are for scrbook + ntheorem + enumerate. I've already sent them to the list a few days ago (at least I think I've sent them to the list) but it's probably easier for others to get them from the Wiki then from the list archive. Definitely. Why don't you have a go at adding the layout to the wiki. Please try adding it yourself first, and if/when you run into problems I'll help. Then I can also try and improve the instructions so that it's easier for the next person. regards /Christian PS.

LyX 1.4.1 Translates 1.3.4? Excalibur
Two easy questions for the LyXers on the list: 1 I've read that LyX/Mac 1.4.1 can read LyX/Mac 1.3.7 files. Can it also read 1.3.4 files? 2 The MacTex download includes the latex-aware spell checker Excalibur. Can Excalibur be used to spellcheck in LyX/Mac? Or is Aspell the way to go? Thanks for the help.

Re: funny math fonts with lyx 1.4.1 on winxp
John Pye wrote: I had recently uninstalled the Lyx 1.3.7 'complete installer', then I installed the new LyX. Does the uninstaller sometimes delete files during reboot? Perhaps these files were replaced by the new installed, but marked for deletion by the old uninstaller? Could that be happening? No. BTW where do these files live once installed -- can I check if they're there or not? The font files are in Windows\fonts directory. Their names are msbm.ttf etc. regards Uwe
Trouble with eps inclusions in lyx-1.4.1
I just ran into a really weird lyx problem on Fedora Core 5 and tetex-3.0-19. It is so interesting I want to share and ask for help: http://pj.freefaculty.org/latex/weirdRotations-lyx.tar.gz That tarball has a lyx file and 3 eps files that I generated with R. Two of the eps files are in landscape mode, one is portrait (horizontal). By default, R generates eps files in landscape mode and using some interfaces for R, it is more-or-less difficult to make them come out in portrait mode. So it might be useful to have a good & dependable way in LyX to manage eps files that are in landscape mode. If you open the LyX document and view that in dvi, ps2pdf, pdflatex, and dvipdfm, the treatment of the eps graphics is different in each one. The dvi output is about what I expect, but pdflatex turns the graphs so they are right side up, ps2pdf turns the figure titles on the right side in lanscape mode, and dvipdfm does something else altogether. If I rotate the images so they are "right side up" in dvi mode, then the pdf output is also excitingly different. And it is not a good kind of excitement. If you would please download this and test it out, I would be glad to hear if you see the same troubles. Because a lot of my work depends on being able to create pdf files that are accurate representations of the dvi/ps files that LyX creates. -- Paul E.

Yes, I don't think my layouts are good enough, at least from a coding viewpoint. They *do* accomplish the page layout I needed, but they're not pretty, and probably not done the best way. > * People feel that it's too difficult to upload the layout... Yes, I feel the layouts are too hard to upload. I hardly know how to use wikis at all.

1) Open the BibTeX Bibliography dialog (click on the included bibliography
box);
2) Check the "Add bibliography to TOC" checkbox;
3) Voilá!
i did'nt use that kind of bibliography (dunno howto use it)
i use only simple bibliography at the top-left of LyX
so i found this on the net and it work..
\cleardoublepage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\bibname}
\bibliography{frooble}
well then, i need TOC list of acknowlegement page,
a preface page, abstract, and a title page...
any idea, please ??
i use this
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\abstractname}
but the abstract page at TOC always shows at page number 1
it should be number 2 at my document. The page number
doesn't show up at the abstract page.
and howto add like this
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{"non-existing Chapther"}
like on the acknowlegment and preface page, the Chapter title
not using Chapter* style, just Standard text, with larger font
and centered align... but i want to add it to TOC
thanks in advance...

Cygwin which uses a Linux like xpdf crashed when viewing under all three modes. Will test later on FC4. That you got a pdflatex display at all and that my CygLyX crashed makes me think that there is something wrong with the .eps file (how they were made). Regards, Stephen
