Re: Vertically center a rotated cell within multirows

[Paul A . Rubin]

If you're using the rotate cell button in the table toolbar, the problem is
that the multirow command is being nested inside the sideways environment; you
need the nesting in the opposite order.  Try deselecting the rotation button in
the toolbar and use something like the following inside the cell (I'll use
tildes to denote start/end of ERT):

~\multirow{2}{*}{\begin{sideways}~ your text ~\end{sideways}}~

You'll need to add \usepackage{rotating} to the preamble (or trick LyX into
doing it by rotating an empty cell in the table), and you may need to add a
little space after your text (say, a hard space or two) to get perfect 
centering.

Missing files In TEMP dir

[Max Funk]

Hallo,

 

As LaTeX user I tested the LyX program, converting a document

It is a nice program, thank you.

 

I had one major problem: Some files of the document directory 

(the .bib file with its original name, modified .sty files, and so on) 

were not copied into the temp dir. 

 

Therefore, I had to install the modified style file into localtexmf, 

copy the .bib file after each start of lyx into the temp dir. 

(I need it e.g. because of packages multibib, pdfx.)

 

My request: It would be great, if there would be just two checkboxes 

in the document settings

x copy all files from document directory to tempdir

   x include subdirectories

Maybe a security question showing the number of files)

 

Then the compilation of the document would really be equivalent to 

Latex.

Re: LyX 2.0: Problems with Enumitem.module?

[Daron Wilson]

Peter,

When I use a fresh install of LyX 2.0beta, with KOMA-script article and the 
enumitem module, I cannot reproduce the problem.  The lists seem to appear as 
expected.  The label is not indented and flush with the item text.

With respect to the problem of indenting, I notice that in your pictures the 
source view of the problem document has the command \noindent for every list 
item.  My source (using KOMA, enumitem) looks the same as yours, except my 
elabeling lists do not not have the \noindent commands.

\begin{elabeling}{00.00.}
\item [{Label~One}] Blah Blah lots of text...
\item [{Label~Two}] Blah Blah even more text...
\item [{Label~Three}] Blah Blah the last text...
\end{elabeling}

If I export my document to LaTeX and then add the \noindent commands manually, 
the lists end up showing the problem behavior you mention--the labels become 
aligned with the item text.

I don't know enough to offer suggestions about where the \noindent commands are 
coming from, but it seems like you may have another setting/package that is 
interfering.  Wiser heads on the list here might know automatically what the 
problem is, or, if you can attach your LyX source file that might show 
something also.


Also, I was not sure from your post if you considered the bold labels to be a 
problem with the enumitem Labeling environment (alias lyx-lists).  This is 
expected behavior I think, because the enumitem.module defines its list 
environment based on the description environment, which is bold by default in 
LyX.

You can change the labels in various ways using the options specified in 
enumitem package documentation.

For example, to remove the bold in the enumitem Labeling environment labels, 
you could add the following to your preamble:

\renewenvironment{elabeling}[2][]%
  {\settowidth{\lyxlabelwidth}{#2}
   \begin{description}[font=\normalfont,style=sameline,
   leftmargin=\lyxlabelwidth,#1]}
  {\end{description}}
