Unfortunately, IIRC wiki tags are just enough different from HTML and other tagging taxonomies that it can be confusing at first. Yes, the tags are certainly a part of the problem. Then I also think many people are simply reluctant to write something that'll end up being so visible. (Which is kind of strange since everything on this list is equally visible... OTOH, I was quite reluctant the first few messages I posted to this list). The problem of learning all the tags will probably be better in the future. Someone is bound to create a graphical frontend for editing wiki pages - I'm confident that's just a matter of time. I've actually considered adapting LyX to being able to edit wiki pages. Due to time constraints (and capability!), I'll probably have to postpone that to the next decade unless more people would willing to collaborate on such a project.

footnotes and floats
Cheers, all,
I found (on Herbert Voss' site -- where else?) what appears to be a
solution, at least for me. As mentioned here
http://tug.org/TeXnik/mainFAQ.cgi?file=footnotes/footnotes , footnotes
sometimes don't end up where they "should". In my document preamble, I wrote
\usepackage[bottom]{footmisc}
and it appears to fix this problem.
Hope this helps someone else!

Hi, all. I'm using LyX 1.4.1 on Debian, and writing in the koma-script

I'm having a problem with footnotes and table floats (it happens with
figure floats, too). In the text, I have a footnote, which I *think*
should go at the very bottom of the page, under everything else (except
the page number, of course). On the same page, if I insert a figure or
table float, and use either default placement or "bottom of the page", the
float will end
up below the footnote, with the footnote seeming to be suspended above
the float. It looks pretty bad.
Is there any way to fix this?
Footnotes do not mix well with tables in LaTeX. One solution would be to
insert your table in a minipage. Footnotes would be inserted just below the
float but not with other footnotes at the bottom of the page.
The catch is that the footnote here does not need to be part of the table.
I can reproduce what Curtis described: a footnote in the text (not in the
float), a tabular float set to bottom, and the float is printed below the
footnote (and above the page number).
It's not specific to the komascript book class, either; the same thing
happens with article and book, among others.
I have no idea what the fix would be, though. It seems to be a LaTeX issue
(not a LyX bug). It was reported in 1997 and apparently will not be changed
(unless there was a more recent report that got a different reception). See

Re: footnote ends up below tables
Hello, Charles. Thanks for the reply. I may not understand what you propose (I realize that I probably wasn't too clear in my original message, either: I'm not putting a footnote IN the table (nor in a figure caption, etc.), but just somewhere else on the page so that both it and the table end up on the same page after LaTeX does its magic. Maybe that's not what you inferred, but I realize that my original message might have implied that. I've seen some messages recently where people have tried this, and have had some bad results. So, what I've just tried is the following: *Insert a minipage into my LyX document. In this, insert the floating table. *Leave the footnote where it is ( a different part of the text, not in the table contruct, nor in its caption). Is this what you mean? I think your message might have been meant for a table with some sort of footnote inside it (which isn't what I have). If I do the table-in-a-minipage thing, LaTeX complains with an error message like "LaTeX Error: Not in outer par mode," and "Undefined control sequence," and "Missing number, treated as zero." As is almost always the case, I can't make much of the errors, especially when such a minor change has been made (moving the float to within a minipage). I'll rephrase my original question just for clarity's sake: Is it possible to have a table float to the bottom of the page, but still be on top of any footnotes (which have nothing to do with the table)? Also, if I should post this into a TeX group, please tell me. This doesn't seem to be a LyX-specific problem. Best wishes, all, Curtis O.
