You need to terminate the macro by a space, i.e.: Br\o nsted. Or insert the

A "slash o" ?? Cannot get it...
Being a perfectionist, I'd love to get the name Bronsted properly
spelled, with a slash through the o. Using LyX, I've inserted "\o" in
ERT, but get an undefined control sequence error:
...Define a \inputencoding{latin1}{Br\onsted
}\inputencoding{latin9}-Lowry
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
I can make umlauts, etc., but this one evades me. Does anyone know what
my mistake is?
Using LyX 2.0b3 in Debian (Sid). It happens with 1.6.7 as well. :(
Thanks!
Kenward

Re: [WINDOWS] Python scripts fail
Thanks! I ran bibtex as you suggested and the output looked like bibtex didn't recognize the bibstyle I was using. I changed it and now it seems to be producing .ps files with figures and bibliography without a hitch! Unfortunately I'm still getting the same "...cannot determine size of graphic in..." errors when trying to build a .pdf. Any suggestions? Thanks again, -Gabe On Wed, Feb 2, 2011 at 1:16 PM, Paul A.

Re: How to make frontmatter appear in italics in ToC?
On 02/01/2011 08:58 PM, Stig Rognes wrote:
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!
Well, it's a wild guess, but what if you temporarily redefine
\addcontentsline at the start of the frontmatter and then restore it at
the end? E.g.:
\let\oldaddcl=\addcontentsline
\renewcommand\addcontentsline[3]{\oldaddcl{#1}{#2}{\emph{#3}}
...
\let\addcontentsline=\oldaddcl
Something like that ought to have the right effect.

Re: Auto-reload pdf files on Mac?
Greetings. I read something like the following in the Skim documentation, but I can't find where at the moment. It seems that reason you must always specify "auto-(re)load" the first time you update a PDF is so that you don't forget and override a previously compiled version of the document that you might actually want to save. I have been using Skim regularly and the autoupdate feature works very well and is very handy.
