I am surprised you said that. I've tested and voting was possible without
logging in. I've just enter the survey from a PC that had never been on
polldaddy.com and the survey is open. And nobody else complains about
logging in.

You can. Just write it (without trying to open an ERT-inset). In the math
box, everything that LyX does not understand is left as ERT.

Is the footnote symbol still LARGE?

You will either need to include the footnote in the large text part (and
eventually set the content back to footnotesize) or use raw LaTeX (ERT)
for a \raisebox.

Thanks for the site. I've downloaded the version for Hardy. So, now I
have 1.6.0 but I still have a problem with pdflatex for the graphics I
have in my document.

Hello,

margin alignment with Lyx 1.6.4.1, OSX and microtype seems to work, 
but just very lightly (I´m not really sure, because it´s so lightly). 
Could somebody tell me how to increase the factor, what do I have to 
enter in the preamble? Up to now I just use:

\usepackage{microtype}

For the margin alignment I found an old notice of mine, that I would 
have to use the option "protrusion" with the factor of max. 1000…


I don't know about this stuff, but a quick look at the most recent 
manual suggests that you play with the factor option, trying settings 
like factor=1000 or factor=500.

I haven't stumbled on that, but if you hold down the command key

may help you get it back to norma.

- zoom-in/zoom-out should have been bound to M-+, M-=, and M--.
- restart LyX and the old value for zoom will be restored
- type in the command buffer "buffer-zoom-in"
- or use the scrollwheel with the command key (ctrl).


Or preferences -> Look & Feel -> Screen fonts: Zoom

A more (in my opinion) annoying thing is that also  Alt + -  
"normally" (in all other programs) gives and en-dash, but in LyX it  
zooms out and I have problems reversing my "mechanical memory" ;-)

Footnote Symbol Placement too Low

[Rob]

Hi,

I have a footnote on some text that is largest font (base=12) where the footnote
symbol resides only half-way up to the height of the preceding letter.  

How can I change this to put it in the standard position (slightly above the
preceding letter).  The footnote placements are fine for the normalsize text in
my document.

Thanks very much.

I went ahead and took the survey ("no opinion"). 

I wanted to point out that filtering the list is easy without such a

Actually nothing stops you from compiling the latest LyX release on
the Ubuntu release in question and use it. It's just not click&run.
That's the price of diversity you pay for a more open operating system.
There is a benefit you get when you pay for a more closed plattform like

I echo that. LTS means "I prefer stability over new releases" and that's

If people find they would rather have new release then they don't want LTS.

That can't work because you need some infrastructue behind the scence
that provides the packages and meta information for apt.

Bad idea. Mixing packages accross distribution boarders is not a good
idea for arch:all packages but can work but doing it for architecture
dependend binary packages definetly calls for trouble. Especially if
you pick them from a moving target like Debian/unstable.


On the one hand I'm amazed that Ubuntu is nowdays also hit by the
stable, stale getting rusty problem Debian/stable somehow faces since
ever. On the other Hand I've no clue how to fix it in an enduser friendly
way. And I wouldn't call my usual advice 'simply rebuild it in a local
pbuilder chroot' userfriendly even if there's some chance that the
current 1.6.4 Debian package would build without further problems.

So maybe the easy way out for the OP might be to switch away from the LTS
release to the latest whatever is 'stable'.

using nomentbl / executing an external command

[s bruijn]

I am trying to use the nomentbl package in lyx (to separate the units of my 
nomenclature nicely) using pdflatex.
In order to get things to work nicely, I need to execute the command:

"makeindex -s nomentbl.ist -o filename.nls filename.nlo"

If this command is executed things work out pretty well (some extra "}{" can be 
entered in the standard nomenclature dialog). However, for some reason it seems 
this command is never executed nicely. I tried by changing the the nomenclature 
command in "tools-preferences-output-latex" to:
 "makeindex -s nomentbl.ist -o $$b.nls $$b.nlo" 
but this does not work, it produces an empty .nlo file. Is this because $$b 
maybe only works for convertors? 

I read about the convertors but for some reason I cannot get that to work 
either. Are convertors the way to go for this problem? All that needs to be 
done is call pdflatex, execute the command and run latex again... If it turns 
out to be simple please let me know how it should be done!

Does anyone know whether this is possible at all?
