Re: Getting text to wrap around illustrations in Lyx
No, I've used other software. They get a pretty neat result, regardless of the column width. At most, they might stuff a lot of white space *in between* words.

Headings disappear when using Bembo
Hello,
I have got an old CorelDraw-CD with lots of Bitstream fonts on it and
want to use Bembo for my document (scrbook, headings).
I did all the compiling stuff and the font works now.
There's only one thing I can't figure out:
When I use Times (or any other font) everything's fine and I get
headings at the top of each page.
But when I switch to Bembo all headings have disappeared.
As I'm quite new to LaTeX and LyX I couldn't figure out where the
error is.
Can anybody help me? (I know, maybe this is not a very LyX-specific
question.)

reference-insert syntax changed?
I have just upgraded from LyX 1.3.6 to 1.4.4, and I can't insert
references using the minibuffer or LyX server anymore. I used to use
something like:
reference-insert ref|++|label
but now LyX tells me Unknown action. Similar commands like
math-insert still work. Has the command syntax changed? I couldn't see
anything documented.
Thanks!

a little help with enumerate
Hi, I had a quick question about enumerate. I saw a paper where it was used like this: 1. (a) one (b) two (c) three The only way I can see to do it in LyX is to make it have something like: 1. (a) one (b) two (c) three where the 1. is on a blank line looking weird. Any ideas on how to do this that aren't too hacky?

Re: a little help with enumerate
Dear LyXers,
I was delighted to find the other day that I can put math-moded symbols in
my index tags, and that they'll be typeset into a Symbols section at the
start of my index. Unfortunately, this is not working any more for me, despite
not changing my preamble in any way.
Details:
I have a master LyX document containing several other child LyX documents. Each
of these contains multiple index entries. One of them contains index entries
with math-mode (for example, $\omega_0$) entered into the index box. Strangely,
when I typeset THAT single document by itself, with an index in it (it has only
\input{preamble} --- referring to the same .tex file containing the preamble of
the master document --- in its preamble), the symbols typeset fine, and are
included in the document's index.
However, when I typeset the ENTIRE document, it fails, with the message
\item $\omega_0$, \hyperpage{179} and the usual I've inserted a
begin-math/end-math symbol since I think you left one out message. The page
179 is about where the symbol would appear in the full, properly typeset
document, so I suspect it's something to do with the hyperref package, which
has never given me problems before.
If I remove the offending index entry, things work fine... for a while.
Recently, as a test, I removed all of the index entries containing math-mode in
that chapter, and the whole document typeset correctly several times. Just now,
though, I tried to compile the .pdf again, and a math-mode entry ( $s_n$ ) in
another chapter (which I had actually forgotten about because it wasn't an
issue) caused problems.
Incidentally, it's not just subscripted index entries --- even plain Greek
(e.g. $\gamma$) entries are now causing errors.
It seems my working index entries are slowly being eaten away!
I've reconfigured LyX and run texhash. Is there anything else I can try?

reference-insert syntax changed?
I have just upgraded from LyX 1.3.6 to 1.4.4, and I can't insert
references using the minibuffer or LyX server anymore. I used to use
something like:
reference-insert ref|++|label
but now LyX tells me Unknown action. Similar commands like
math-insert still work. Has the command syntax changed? I couldn't see
anything documented.
Thanks!

Re: a little help with enumerate
Dear LyXers,
I was delighted to find the other day that I can put math-moded symbols in
my index tags, and that they'll be typeset into a Symbols section at the
start of my index. Unfortunately, this is not working any more for me, despite
not changing my preamble in any way.
Details:
I have a master LyX document containing several other child LyX documents. Each
of these contains multiple index entries. One of them contains index entries
with math-mode (for example, $\omega_0$) entered into the index box. Strangely,
when I typeset THAT single document by itself, with an index in it (it has only
\input{preamble} --- referring to the same .tex file containing the preamble of
the master document --- in its preamble), the symbols typeset fine, and are
included in the document's index.
However, when I typeset the ENTIRE document, it fails, with the message
\item $\omega_0$, \hyperpage{179} and the usual I've inserted a
begin-math/end-math symbol since I think you left one out message. The page
179 is about where the symbol would appear in the full, properly typeset
document, so I suspect it's something to do with the hyperref package, which
has never given me problems before.
If I remove the offending index entry, things work fine... for a while.
Recently, as a test, I removed all of the index entries containing math-mode in
that chapter, and the whole document typeset correctly several times. Just now,
though, I tried to compile the .pdf again, and a math-mode entry ( $s_n$ ) in
another chapter (which I had actually forgotten about because it wasn't an
issue) caused problems.
Incidentally, it's not just subscripted index entries --- even plain Greek
(e.g. $\gamma$) entries are now causing errors.
It seems my working index entries are slowly being eaten away!
I've reconfigured LyX and run texhash. Is there anything else I can try?

Headings disappear when using Bembo
Hello,
I have got an old CorelDraw-CD with lots of Bitstream fonts on it and
want to use Bembo for my document (scrbook, headings).
I did all the compiling stuff and the font works now.
There's only one thing I can't figure out:
When I use Times (or any other font) everything's fine and I get
headings at the top of each page.
But when I switch to Bembo all headings have disappeared.
As I'm quite new to LaTeX and LyX I couldn't figure out where the
error is.
Can anybody help me? (I know, maybe this is not a very LyX-specific
question.)
My preamble in Lyx
\usepackage{microtype, fixltx2e, mparhack}
\usepackage[bookmarksnumbered]{hyperref}
\usepackage{qtree}
\usepackage{arydshln}
%\usepackage{colortbl}% does not work together with arydshln
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{pifont}
\usepackage{covington}
%\usepackage{mathptmx}% a better Times
\usepackage{bembo}
\usepackage[scaled]{bfrutiger}
Thank you.

However, when I typeset the ENTIRE document, it fails, with the message "
\item $\omega_0$, \hyperpage{179}" and the usual "I've inserted a
begin-math/end-math symbol since I think you left one out" message. The page
179 is about where the symbol would appear in the full, properly typeset
document, so I suspect it's something to do with the hyperref package, which
has never given me problems before.
If I remove the offending index entry, things work fine... for a while.
Recently, as a test, I removed all of the index entries containing math-mode in
that chapter, and the whole document typeset correctly several times. Just now,
though, I tried to compile the .pdf again, and a math-mode entry ( $s_n$ ) in
another chapter (which I had actually forgotten about because it wasn't an
issue) caused problems.
Incidentally, it's not just subscripted index entries --- even plain Greek
(e.g. $\gamma$) entries are now causing errors.
It seems my working index entries are slowly being eaten away!
I've reconfigured LyX and run texhash. Is there anything else I can try?

Corrected Subject: Math-mode in index entries?
( Sorry about the subject of my previous message. I responded to an earlier
message and forgot to change the subject line. At the risk of being considered
a nuisance, here's my message again with a correct subject this time.)
Dear LyXers,
I was delighted to find the other day that I can
put math-moded symbols in my index tags, and that they'll be typeset
into a "Symbols" section at the start of my index. Unfortunately, this
is not working any more for me, despite not changing my preamble in any
way.
Details:
I have a master LyX document containing
several other child LyX documents. Each of these contains multiple
index entries. One of them contains index entries with math-mode (for
example, $\omega_0$) entered into the index box. Strangely, when I
typeset THAT single document by itself, with an index in it (it has
only \input{preamble} --- referring to the same .tex file containing
the preamble of the master document --- in its preamble), the symbols
typeset fine, and are included in the document's index.
