How to create a list where each item can have its own paragraphs?
I'd like to create a list that looks like following: 1. My first item This is the description for first item. This is some more description for first item in next paragraph. 2. My second item This is the description for second item. This is some more description for second item in next paragraph. I tried to experiment with Description type list but it always makes first word bold and that looks ugly.
How do I mark first row and first column as header in LyX?
I googled this and searched in forum but there doesn't seem to be any pointer except making table as bigtable. I have a simple table with 5 rows and 3 columns. I would just like to mark first column and/or first row as header column/row. I don't want to explicitly apply any formatting but headers should look different. Is there any way to do this in LyX?
Windows upgrade issues - Undefined control sequence
Hi list,
I had LyX 1.5.6 installed along with MikTex 2.7 on Windows XP. Today I
decided to upgrade to LyX 1.6.1 and downloaded the installer:
LyX-1.6.1-1-Installer.exe
I uninstalled LyX 1.5 and then ran the installer. It detected my MikTex
installation and completed successfully... however as soon as I tried to
compile the initial welcome screen to DVI or PDF I got the following errors:
Undefined control sequence.
LaTex Error: Missing \begin{document}
Undefined control sequence.
LaTex Error: Missing \begin{document}
I tried reconfiguring but that did not help.
Since then I've uninstalled LyX and MikTex and reinstalled both of them
numerous times, with no success. I have tried to use the "Download MikTex"
option in the LyX installer (in case this fixes things) but it fails with
the error: "Downloading MiKTeX failed. Would you like to try again?
(Redirection (302))"
Can anyone help? It would be good not to have to go back to 1.5.7!
Thanks,
Peter

I am not sure about this solution but I think that if the problem is with Lyx, you might try this. In the first place I suggest you install FoxIt PDF reader. It is libre software which is good for freedom. Then open Tools --> Preferences --> External Formats --> File Formats Check the file format you are using and then check which program is being used as a viewer. Hope this helps. I do not have the same conditions as you so it might be different because I use the GNU operating system and furthermore it is in spanish. Please excuse any translation error. Good luck. -- Saludos/Greetings Quiliro Ordóñez 593(02)340 1517 / 593(09)821 8696 http://quiliro.wordpress.com Artículos recientes: - Por que aceptar derechos de autor y patentes si no tenemos ninguna?
Re: Ligation in report(komascript)-class
Thank you, both methods works fine and I will maybe also bind these keys,
like rh said. Thank you for your informative explanations as well.

You have to introduce manually the oe ligature either by creating a latex
inset and inserting \oe{} for lowercase or \OE{} for the uppercase or you
can directly insert the symbol from the menu Insert -> Special Character ->
Symbols -> Latin Extended A
The oe ligature is not automatic because, in French, the ligature is done
only if oe is the diphthong and pronounced 'eu' (like coeur, oeuvre, boeuf,
soeur) or for some words coming from the Greek : OEdipe, OEnologue,
OEsophage, foetus. Purists will pronounce here Édipe, Énologue but normal
French pronounciation is Eudipe except for foetus which is pronounced fétus
You do not do the ligature if it is two vowels and pronounced o-é like
coercitif or a foreign word like Goethe.
Cheers,
Charles

I tried to enter the ligature break anyway, but nothing changed, still no ligation. I don't know if there's any automatic way to get that ligature. But you can enter \OE in ERT (\oe for lowercase), or you could use unicode. Open the minibuffer (Alt-X) and type: unicode-insert 0x0152, or unicode-insert 0x0153. Of course you could bind these to keys if you needed them often. rh

Re: Ligation in report(komascript)-class
As far as I understand, this function removes ligations. I want to add a ligaton, which works automatically for many letters, but not for the french »Oeuvre«. I tried to enter the ligature break anyway, but nothing changed, still no ligation.

Ligation in report(komascript)-class
Hello list, is it possible to get a ligation for »Oeuvre« in report-class? I do get a ligation for »fl« automatically. Is there a simple solution or should I have to enter ERT? How? Cheers* Jess

Re: Lyx, version clash
Is there some way I could open a Lyx 1.6.X file with Lyx 1.5.X? You need to use 1.5.7, which can read 1.6.x files.

formatting dialogs in a book
Hi, I'm helping someone write a book in Lyx. I've configured it to use the Memoir class, and the result looks great! The only big problem left is formatting dialogs in the book. I'v searched on the internet but didn't find any information. Does anyone have a hint? Thanks in advance!

"View PDF (pdflatex)" fails to open Acrobat
Hi, when clicking the "View PDF (pdflatex)" icon in LyX, or executing the appropriate command via the menu, a PDF file is generated in the temp directory, but Acrobat doesn't start. I'm using LyX 1.6.1, installed with LyXWinInstaller on a Vista SP1 machine with Acrobat 8. Any help would be much appreciated, always browsing to the temp folder is somewhat tedious.
