You can use the ERT command \pagestyle{plain} before the list of figures

in a document using book(KOMA-Script) the heading list of figures is

Removing languages

When I write mixed Hebrew-English documents, I have to select the
language for each span of text. There are tens of languages installed,
how can I remove the unused languages from the dropdown list? It would
be much easier if I could choose from _four_ languages instead of four
hunderd. Thanks!

Try putting \pagestyle{headings} (or \pagestyle{fancy} if you were using 
fancyhdr) in ERT somewhere in the page where you want to resume headings.

This is not possible. But why not defining a keyboard shortcut for the language change instead of 
using the dialog?
On http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Hebrew this is for example done. Alternatively to the bind file 
there, you can define new shortcuts in LyX's preferences dialog under Editing-Shortcuts.

These files are LaTeX files, so they must be installed to your LaTeX distribution. So copy them to 
an appropriate folder to your LaTeX distribution usually under ~\tex\latex\svjour and then use either

- the command line command texhash when your are using TeXLive under Lunix/Mac
or
- refresh the file name database in MiKTeX's settings program.
Finally restart LyX and reconfigure it.

Thanks, Uwe. I will go back to TFM as I'm not quite sure what I need
to do here. I suppose that I do not understand the difference between
tex and latex. Wikipedia says that tex is a typesetting system and
that latex is a markup language for it. So .tex files are actually
latex markup, no (like an HTML file is SGML markup, no)? There is a
lot of material to cover, is there any one concise resource for
getting up to speed quickly? I have gone through the wiki, I will
start on the Lyx tutorial now:

A LaTeX distribution is the same as a Linux distribution, but instead of programs like a Linux 
distro it is a compound of packages.

Yes. So just open TeXLive and go there to its package manager (and install svjour if it is available 
there). How it works should be self-explanatory or have a look at its documentation. When svjour is 
not offered by the package manager, then do what I wrote in my initial mail.

 I've been using  \numberwithin{equation}{section}   in the preamble for

 until the PDF output doesn't get jammed with a crash.
 This must mean I don't really understand something.

 When I remove \numberwithin{equation}{section}   from the preamble, pdf
 output works fine.
 When I put it back in, Lyx pdf output crashes.


 In Document  Settings...  Math Options, uncheck Use AMS math package
 automatically and check Use AMS math package instead, and it will work.

 The \numberwithin macro is part of the AMS package, so if the AMS package
 is not loaded, you get the aforementioned LaTeX error.  The ...
 automatically setting (default) tells LyX to keep an eye out for things in
 the body of the document that require AMS math, and load the AMS package if
 and only if it finds any of them.  The test document _body_ did not contain
 anything that triggered loading of AMS math.  Either LyX does not look for
 references to AMS macros in the preamble or it doesn't recognize
 \numberwithin as one of them.  This also sometimes happens when someone uses
 an AMS macro in the body but puts it in ERT, rather than having LyX insert
 it.

Partially answering to myself: probably because I use "Chapter*" in the

You can use the ERT command \pagestyle{plain} before the list of figures 
command.

LyXers,

in a document using book(KOMA-Script) the heading "list of figures" is
repeated in 2-3 pages after the "list of figures" page.

Why is that so? How can I get rid of it?

It works :-). But it works for the whole document :D.
How do I get them (the headings) back for the next chapters?

Removing languages

When I write mixed Hebrew-English documents, I have to select the
language for each span of text. There are tens of languages installed,
how can I remove the unused languages from the dropdown list? It would
be much easier if I could choose from _four_ languages instead of four
hunderd. Thanks!

Try putting \pagestyle{headings} (or \pagestyle{fancy} if you were using 
fancyhdr) in ERT somewhere in the page where you want to resume headings.

This is not possible. But why not defining a keyboard shortcut for the language change instead of 
using the dialog?
On http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Hebrew this is for example done. Alternatively to the bind file 
there, you can define new shortcuts in LyX's preferences dialog under Editing->Shortcuts.

In any case, I do not need the languages. Thanks, though I will make
the shortcut.

Problems importing Tex file

When I try to import a tex file, I get a messages saying that there
was an error running tex2lyx. When I try to run tex2lyx on the file
manually I get this error:

$ tex2lyx Olga_Lavrenteva.tex
Creating file [snip_path]/Olga_Lavrenteva.lyx
Ignoring options 'dvips' of package color.
Error: Could not find layout file for textclass "svjour3".

However, in the same directory there exists svjour3.cls, svjour.clo,
and template.txt, and I even put a copy of those files in
~/.lyx/layouts as per the tex2lyx manpage. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

These files are LaTeX files, so they must be installed to your LaTeX distribution. So copy them to 
an appropriate folder to your LaTeX distribution usually under ~\tex\latex\svjour and then use either

- the command line command "texhash" when your are using TeXLive under Lunix/Mac
or
- refresh the file name database in MiKTeX's settings program.
Finally restart LyX and reconfigure it.

Thanks, Uwe. I will go back to TFM as I'm not quite sure what I need
to do here. I suppose that I do not understand the difference between
tex and latex. Wikipedia says that tex is a typesetting system and
that latex is a markup language for it. So .tex files are actually
latex markup, no (like an HTML file is SGML markup, no)? There is a
lot of material to cover, is there any one concise resource for
getting up to speed quickly? I have gone through the wiki, I will
start on the Lyx tutorial now:

What is TFM? Why are you unsure?


I suppose that I do not understand the difference between
tex and latex.


But you don't need to know that. All you have to know is that LyX is a frontend to LaTeX, therefore 
it uses the LaTeX-packages you have installed in your LaTeX distribution. Installing a LaTeX-package 
is easy when you use the package manager of your LaTeX distribution. What distribution are your 
using, MiKTeX under Windows or TeXLive under Linux?
In your case you only have to install the LaTeX-package "svjour" to your LaTeX-distribution, that's 
all for now.

The Fine Manual. It is a common TLA in many mailing lists.

I suppose that _that_ is the detail that was not clear to me. I did
not know that I need to have LaTeX packages installed in my LaTeX
distribution. I'm still not sure what that _means_, but I have enough
keywords to google on!

As this is a Kubuntu system, should I assume that I am using TeXLive?

I see, thanks. I now know the "what" to do, I will google for the "how" to do.

Thank you for your patience with this noob!
