There you can set the class-option "titlepage" (just add it to the empty line) and everything will be fine, you can even omit the newpage. Cool, thanks. One glitch though: the layout of the title page changes: the text becomes vertically aligned on the centre [1]. Is this expected? (It also impacts more heavily the tilte page of `article (paper)'.) [1] http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=24587917621978538539 Liviu If you want more control over the design of your titlepage, I suggest to use \begin{titlepage} and \end{titlepage} (both in ERT). Between those two, you can fill in the content of your titlepage (as standard text, formatted by hand) in a way that it suits your needs. Of course this needs a bit fingerpainting but offers control over the layout. Keep in mind that you have to keep the "titlepage"-class-option, or you will get your pagenumber back. Regards, Florian

But I found a (dirtier) hack: generate the 1st-page-nr-bugged .pdf, open it with PDFedit [1], draw a white rectangle over the 1st page number, and save. The .pdf file seems clean after the PDFedit save, and has no numbering on the first page. Not very cute, but a way to go.

Liviu Andronic schrieb: To me this is not a viable approach for `article (paper)'. Using google, I found another possibility which should now be exactly what you want. Don't give article the option titlepage, put "\begin{titlepage}" in front of your title and right after all your titlepage-specific things in a new paragraph "\thispagestyle{empty} \end{titlepage}". Now everything should look like in your first example but without the pagenumber. This works, because Lyx inserts the \maketitle command right after your titlepage-things but now before the end of the titlepage. So now the pagenumber on the titlepage is suppressed by \thispagestyle{empty}. Regards, Florian

That's the best keyboard based solution indeed. The best mouse based solution is to use shift + right click. Both these solutions work brilliantly. Thanks to all! This list is really brilliant. Are these methods of selection in the LyX help documents? Dunno... If you don't find it and would like to write something down, please contribute your addition to the documentation list. Or are they artefacts of the Qt library? No, these are genuine LyX features :-) Basically everything inside the editing area is based on own own LyX code. Abdel.

lyx2epub
Hi, Is it stupid to ask an export fonction from lyx to epub format (xhtml) ? It will be great to have this capability to manage text readable by netbook reader ! Thanks for every idea about this new feature !

Cross-References doubts
Hi Friends of Lyx Sometimes i need to define lemma, proposition, theorem or simply some definitions. I think it is very easy to use them cos i can set by *description* or *list*. However, i have problems when i want to work with cross-references. The problem is that every time i define a *description* for theorem, for example, the theorem defined gets the cross-refence of the chapter, section or subsecction etc, wherever place i have defined it. I known that i have to insert a label firts, but it only is useful when i am writting a thesis, guide etc. i would like to insert my own cross-reference, and when i have to insert my defined refence it appears on the pdf text I am working with lyx 1.5.6. Any advice to solve the problem? if i have to install any package, how do i have to install the package in Lyx? Thanks in advance Adrián

Then you haven't defined the environment correctly.

Zoroaster. 1. In LyX, does Tools > TeX Information > LaTeX classes show beamer.cls? If not, you need to reinstall the beamer package in MiKTeX and then reconfigure LyX. 2. Does Tools > TeX Information LaTeX styles show both pgf.sty and xcolor.sty? If not, install the missing package(s) in MiKTeX, go back to Tools > TeX Information LaTeX styles and click the Rescan button. 3. Does beamer.layout exist in C:\Program Files\LyX16\Resources\layouts? If not, something went wrong in your LyX installation, and you need to get a copy of the layout file from someone. 4. All else failing, you might try deleting you home directory. In LyX, click Help > About LyX and look for the "user directory" (typically something like "~\Application Data\lyx16". At a command prompt, type "set home" to get your HOMEDRIVE (usually C:) and HOMEPATH (usually \Documents and Settings\). Replace the tilde with HOMEDRIVE HOMEPATH. Close LyX, delete the user directory (e.g., C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\lyx16) and everything underneath it, then restart LyX and let LyX recreate it. (This is a bit of a long shot, but in the past a few people have been afflicted with incorrect settings that seem to have gotten permanently stuck in their user directory somehow.) HTH, Paul
Inserting the List of Figures and List of Tables INTO the TOC
Hallo everyone, very quick question: how do I have the List of Figures and List of Tables appear INTO the TOC? I just need an entry in the TOC like: Chapter x: page2 Chapter y: page10 List of Figures: page 50 List of Tables: page 54 Something like that because my teacher wants me to put the TOC on the beginning of the document and the lists on the bottom of it, and he wants the lists to appear in the TOC too of course. I was sure tehre was an automatic way to do it but at the end I noticed that it was possible only to put the bibliography page in the TOC, not the page where the lists are.. Please help me, I know this must be a simple solution but I'm not finding it in the documentation :) Bye Luca D.M.

Add "\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\listfigurename}" in ERT right in front of your list of figures and "\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\listtablename}" right in front of your list of tables. If you want the lists to appear like subsections in the TOC you need to replace both "section" by "subsection". Regards, Florian
