Re: Thesis -- parent and child chapters
You don't need to customize LyX for this. Simply write each chapter in a separate LyX file (which you can compile and view separately without the need to comment out anything,) and create a master thesis file where you include each chapter with Insert -> File -> Child Document (selecting "Include" as the Include type.) Make sure that all your chapters have the same document class as the main file. Put the TOC and bibliography in the main file as well and you'll be able to cite it from all chapters.

Thesis -- parent and child chapters
Hi, I've read through Customization, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction. I'm writing a thesis Is there a way to designate a parent LyX file that #includes chapters... so that I can speed up the LaTeX compilation process by commenting out chapters other than the one I am editing? thanks in advance. cheers, Ed Sykes

I bypassed the problem by exporting the whole document to html and then opening it with Ooo or Word. The output looks quite neat actually, there were only minor issues with sections, subsections etc. The formatting is not perfect, but I only needed an editable version for my thesis advisor since he hasn't discovered the qualities of LyX yet ;). There are lots of issues here, but they have nothing to do with LyX. Export always invokes external tools, except for export to LaTeX, plain text, or DocBook (which doesn't always work, anyway). I myself have no problem exporting to RTF, ODT, or almost anything else, but that's probably because I did a lot of the work to make these things work, and so, obviously, they work on my system. To a large extent, what's needed here is to tweak the command lines options to whatever external program is being used. It may well be, for example, that latex2rtf is expecting Latin 1 encoding, and you're trying to feed it UTF-8; or some such thing; and there are lots of issues involving graphics formats. So play around, and read the man pages for the various external tools. rh Best regards, Tomas Pavlik On Sun, 25 May 2008 20:10:54 +0200, Liviu Andronic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On 5/25/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello, I'm trying to export my LyX document to OpenDocument but LyX does not produce output.

Re: URGENT question about bibtex format
Thanks for the hint. Using trial and error I finally found the jurabib-style that created a perfectly looking bibliography as expected. Dominik

How to fix modernCV in Debian and derivates..
Hello everyone probably some of you have noticed that the modernCV template doesn't compile in debian etch, testing, and ubuntu. I posted the bug and got no feedback so i found a workaround for that: first of all download the CTAN modernCV package http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/moderncv.html then unpack it in /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/moderncv (of course don't unpack the readme files and the examples directory) then as root run: texhash reconfigure lyx and your modernCV will be working perfectly.

Re: Text wrap float problems
Dawid Ciecierski schrieb: Thanks for the suggestions but I still am unclear about possible solutions to the problem. I told you and this is also wriiten in the LyX documentation: When the wrapped table/image is at a page break, you have to adjust its position manually. To continue on writing your document and do this when you are ready, otherwise you would only spend time for an issue that changes with every change of the document. According to what you're saying Uwe, neither LyX 1.6 is going to fix the wrapping problem, nor ERT that LyX 1.6 is going to use. Is this really the case? Yes, as I said, how should LaTeX typeset a wrapped thing that is within a paragraph that contains a page break? Also Word and co cannot do this. regards Uwe
