Itemize inside proof?
Hi, I've been told it's possible in LaTeX to put an itemize inside a proof environment without breaking the proof (so, no end proof symbol, no word "proof" appearing after the itemize). How do I do this in Lyx? Thanks in advance. Nathan

Re: minor rc2 issues
* When I create a new empty doc while having another one open (in my case, actually two other docs open), the contents of the doc in the other tab is still visible (screen is not cleared), except for the first line which waits for my input. This doesn't change when I start typing, only when I hit return. Can't reproduce. * Actually, the non-clearing screen also happens when I switch between two tabs of existing docs, if one doc is too short to fill the entire window area. * [I'm sure this must be known already:] in an empty doc, type a word, then insert a page break, go back to the end of the line before that, hit control-return (to get this arrow-ish thing for a carriage return w/o paragraph break); cursor doesn't jump to next line (which it should do) When I correctly remember, both are already reported at bugzilla.lyx.org.

Erik Schmid schrieb: In the file menue, the export and the print functions are disabled. I don't know what I shoul do. Please help me. Then you don't have a correct LaTeX-instalation. LyX checks the existing LaTeX-installations and if it fins there the needed programs to expot files, this menu gets enabled. So in your case LyX wasn't able to find the - latex.exe - pdflatex.exe - dvips.exe - dvipdfm.exe - ps2pdf.exe To assure that you have a working LaTeX installation, I propose to ininstall the existing LyX1.5rc2 and the existing LaTeX-installation. Then reinstall LyX using the complete installer version from here: http://prdownload.berlios.de/lyxwininstall/LyXWin150svnComplete-3-17.exe (Assure that you install it with admin priviledges and have an open internet connetction while installing when possible.)

My business is the reliability of my ADSL connection (long countryside line) which will be used intensively during the LyX Developers Meeting in Bromarv, 9-14 August 2007. I want to make sure that, if the line goes down, I will be able to have it brought up again on short notice. I am aware of Sonera's technical customer service line, on workdays and part of Saturday, and will use that if there is nothing better. But I wonder if there is something like a premium service (even for money). Getting through to Sonera's ordinary customer service is an exercise in futility.
