mode but with modern wide screens having the outline enabled all the time makes
the text window too narrow and using the menu each time is very cumbersome.

You should bind the key that you want to the command "dialog-toggle toc".

In LyX1.6, Tools->Preferences->Editing->Shortcuts, find the 
"dialog-toggle" command in the "Cursor, Mouse, and Editing functions" 
section, press Modify, add " toc" to the function, set a shortcut.

When I viewed the dvi file, the size of the equivalence sign looked just 
right.

distance between the equivalence symbol and the second system of
equations. Any ideas about how to improve this?

Thanks in advance,

Try using a { delimiter (in LaTeX: \left{ \right. ) along with an  
array to

accomplish this.  See attached.


Thanks, James, but you solution stills contains asymmetric distances
between each system and the equivalence symbol. Can it be still
improved?


You could insert a \, (small space) after the arrow.  See attached.

Sec. 4 of the LyX's Math manual that you find in the Help menu tells you how to do this and also 
lists the predefined delimiters.

You haven't filled the second column of the cases environment. Without this column, the cases 
environment doesn't make sense in the mathematical sense it is designed for.
Attached is your example file with two possibilities to fix this. Also have a look at sec. 3.5 of 
LyX's Math manual that you find in the Help menu of LyX.

How to automatically add the filename in a footer?

2009-01-31 Thread Christian Ridderström

Hi,

I guess the following will require some LaTeX. Any tips on how to get the 
filename appear in the footer?


I'm using \cfoot{...} to create the center text of the footer.

Is it also possible to only extract for instane the filename and not get 
the full path? Or remove the extension?

2009-01-31 Thread Wolfgang Engelmann
Slightly off topic, but somebody might know:

I am using JabRef to push my references into a LyX-written book.
Lets say, I have my references in ref.bib and want to search for references in 
the web concerning 
circadian obesity sleep and 2008

So I press F5 (WebSearch and Search Medline) in JabRef
get a Medline Tab 
and insert
circadian obesity sleep 2008
which would give me 48 references

to reduce the number, I include review:
circadian obesity sleep review 2008
which gives me 48 references

In order to select the only reference I am interested in,
namely Laposky  
I remove the rest before and after this reference 

by using cut and paste with the mouse 
(##question1: is there an easier way? did not find any##)

generate a bibtex-key (knob)
and press ok

The reference is now in ref.bib

However, instead of 
Laposky, A. D. and Bass, J. ..
as desired, 

I get
Aaron D Laposky and Joseph Bass ...
without comma and points, and the prenames in front 

##Question 2: is there a way to get it correct at this stage or before?##

I save the entered reference in JabRef by control s
(if not done now I won't see the ref in the lyx file immediately)

and push the citation into the Lyx file (pressing the LyX knob or control l)

The citation is giving troubles when trying to export the LyX file, 
and I have to fix the author line first, which is cumbersome if there are many 
authors and prone to introduce errors

I am sorry for this lengthy mail, but wanted to describe it in a way which is 
easily reproducible.

I would appreciate help, 
and thanks a lot in advance
