How to make frontmatter appear in italics in ToC?
Hello LyX-users,
I'm using book class (Memoir) and would like to have the frontmatter
(abstract, acknowledgments (unnumbered chapter), nom, lof, lot, and toc
itself) appear in emphasized/italics font on the Contents page. I don't
want the actual chapter titles appear in italics, just in the ToC.
I've tried the following hack, which kinda works, first removing LyX's own
List of tables, then inserting two TeX-boxes, first a non-contents-listed
lot, and then one adding it manually right after:
\listoftables*
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\emph{List of tables}}
This isn't good enough though, as it messes up the pdf-bookmarks page
numbering and doesn't work with LyX's own List of Tables, Nomenclature, or
whatever list. And I haven't found any hack for getting the Contents-insert
itself in the ToC appear in italics/emphasis.
Any ideas would be highly appreciated!
Stig

Re: [WINDOWS] Python scripts fail
The image files live on my E: drive. I'm able to build a .ps or .dvi without any figure issues, just not a .pdf. Also, I still get a [?] instead of citations in the document after I've added my .bib file to the LyX document using the "LyX: BibTeX Bibliography" dialog box.

bug with brackets in subfloat?
I may have discovered a bug, but it may be in LaTeX itself. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a figure float 2. create a sub-float within it. 3. In the subfloat caption, enter (in math mode): $[A]$, where $ indicates math mode. 4. Compile the file. This results in a LaTeX error that has to due with the right-bracket. If you remove it, things compile just fine. I have attached a very brief LyX file (2.0beta3 format) that illustrates this problem. Is there a known work-around for this problem?

Is there an option by which Beamer can be converted to HTML? Do you want a) both PDF and HTML versions or b) just HTML? with a), you could try eLyXer or the native HTML export from LyX 2.0. with b), you could still try the above.
