  OK. I ran qtconfig and changed the default appearance from motif to
cleanlook; now the active tab has a different appearance from the inactive
one.

Thanks,

Re: Can I please have an example of conditional ERT in LyX

I use ifthenelse in my exams. That way I can have one version of
the exam without solutions, and one with solution, without having to
have two documents. If you want, I can send you one of my
exams.

Hi Günter,

thanks for your hint. I'll write just some hints so others may find solution via
mailing lists. 

I read myself through the documentation and assume I installed the .sty/.cls +
.bst files correctly in MikTex. I also did "Refresh FNDB" within MikTex and
"Refonfigure" in Lyx.

Lyx finds all classes files. I tested with Tools->Tex Information within Lyx.

Thanks!

This is the typical example for using branches.

(Document->Settings->Branches and Insert->Branch).

Re: Can I please have an example of conditional ERT in LyX

[James C. Sutherland]

This is the typical example for using branches.

(Document->Settings->Branches and Insert->Branch).



I use branches for this purpose as well (creating exams).  They work  
very well, and are scalable to any number of "branches" that you can  
turn on and off to create different compiled documents...

Maybe that's an easier, and more elegant, solution 
than using ifthenelse. You learn something new about how powerful
LyX is every day. One advantage of using ifthenelse is that the conditional
becomes part of the LaTeX if you export to LaTeX, while branches is a
pure LyX solution (I still prefer to have a LaTeX copy of all my documents
for compatibility).

No, I'm a student of life :-)

I'm (very slowly) writing a math book with multiple choice questions at the 
end of each chapter. I plan on having the correct choice be a different 
environment, but only in certain cases do I want it to look differently.

As I said below (or above, depending on how you read this list), using branches
seems more elegant. I didn't realize this when I implemented the ifthenelse
solution.

Thanks for the Alternative Installer!

[Nick Bell]

Just a quick note to say thanks for the Alternative Installer for LyX 
1.6.2. Having banged my head against a brick wall for a day trying to 
get EPS/PDF previews to work using the standard Windows installer, 
messing around with paths etc., the complete alternative installer Just 
Worked.


Just as I was about to despair having switched back to Windows** on my 
work laptop, all is now well. Thanks!

Thanks for the answers, sorry for the confusion but I am using version 1.6.1, 
cannot download the new version at the moment.
I tried centering the picture, and on the preview screen it does center, just 
not in the PDF. I also know how to adjust the size and all.
I tried to change setting in both the float and the picture, and tried with 
indent on an off, but nothing seems to happen.

How to move bottom page number to top on chapter-heading pages?

[Sophie (itsme213)]

I'm using memoir/book, mostly default settings. Page numbering is at the 
top, except on chapter heading pages where it appears at the bottom.

Is there a simple way (LaTex-wise) to have all page numbers at the top?

Thanks! 

Theorems, lemmas, definitions... in Spanish

[Michael Solis Chacon]

Hello guys,

I'm making my thesis in Lyx, and i need to write theorems, definitions, etc; but
its necesary that appear like Teorema, Lema, Definición, etc.(in Spanish)

I selected the document's language in spanish, the encoding is latin1, and the
Theorems(AMS), Theorems(AMS-Extended) and Theorems(By Chapter).

The problems it's the definitions for the theorems still in English,

\theoremstyle{plain}
\ifx\thechapter\undefined

Could someone help me?

Thanks in advance.

Making long selects

[john]

Hi

I am frustrated in my attempts to select very long passages (for
deletion) in a LyX document.

When I attempt to select by
a. Left clicking and holding then
b. Dragging the mouse

things work as expected until I hit the last visible line on the screen.
Then there is a mighty upheaval and I find I have selected way beyond my
intended target. So still holding down the left button and trying to go
back up a little - again LyX over reacts and I find myself back earlier
in the text than where I started.

Questions:

1. Am I doing something wrong?
2. Is there a better way to select largish chunks of text (say a whole
chapter).
3. Is there any way to mark places in a document then delete to the mark
(as in vi)

Re: Making long selects

[Nicolas Ferré]

Hi, I noticed the same kind of behavior. Now I use the ctrl+shift+arrow 
combination.


Hope this helps.

You might file an enhancement request for an 

 "export to LaTeX source" 
 
branch setting.

The `comment`__ package is a "LaTeX equivalent" of the LyX branches. It
allows "named" commends with configurable visibility in the output.
