Take for example the case that you have a book in your list, how should the reader know that this book is the reference of a certain statement in your text? If you don't like numbers as label you can use years in combination of author codes, but you need to use a label. regards Uwe
Reference list without numbers before the entries
Hi Sorry to bother you with I suppose an easy solvable problem. However, I'm not capable to solve it. My reference list at the end of my document produces entries with numbers before them. Like "[1] Aune, Bruce (1977): Reason and Action. Dordrecht. [2] Bentham, Jeremy (1996): An introduction to the principles of morals and legislation. Oxford. [3] Bratman, Michael E. (1999): Intention, Plans, and Practical Reason. Stan- ford." I only want my bibliography without the numbers, like Aune, Bruce (1977): Reason and Action. Dordrecht. Bentham, Jeremy (1996): An introduction to the principles of morals and legislation. Oxford. Bratman, Michael E. (1999): Intention, Plans, and Practical Reason. Stan- ford. I varied all the posibilities in: Document/Settings/Bibliography, but there was no different output. Furthermore I dont want to make my bibliography with BibTex, because i made quotations in the document about footnotes like in a word document. I'm using LyX 2.0.6 with Windows XP. If there are some more parameters of my system which are required for a proper answer to my problem, let me know. I hope somebody is willing to help me and remain very grateful, Lukas Zoller

Take the thesis template. What is your LyX version, and what is your OS? If you are on Windows, just open an Internet connection and use the menu Tools->reconfigure. This will automatically install all LaTeX packages and document classes you need. I use Lyx 2.0.6 on "MS-Windows XP SP3". I reconfigured it and restarted, didn't see much differences so. So you cannot compile the UserGuide? regards Uwe

Thanks for starting this thread. I've published several books as printed books and as ebooks. My most wanted feature is a tool to produce high quality PDFs (via LaTeX) and good ebooks from the same source. No author wants to make corrections twice. ;-) I am currently using Sphinx, because it is the only tool I've found that produces LaTeX-PDFs and epubs from the same source. http://www.hasecke.eu/Members/juh/sphinx-a-tool-for-self-publisher Another tool which looks promisingly is eLAIX an add-on for LibreOffice. I blogged about it in German. http://literatur.hasecke.com/news/e-books-mit-libreoffice-produzieren The homepage is http://elaix.org/ It would be wonderful to have an epub export in LyX, because it could be a tool which is usable by non-technical people. The publishing industry is changing and for the next five years people will look for tools to produce high-quality print books and ebooks from the same source. I've made some proposals on the wiki page. I just want to add that converting to PDF and ePub should be a one button process. I don't like the idea of using an other program to do the final conversion like Calibre or Sigil or whatever. Most crucial is that lyx-ebooks are accepted at the big shops. If you are a professional writer you want to sell your ebooks via Amazon (Kindle Direct Publishing), Google and Apple. KDP converts epubs to their proprietary format without loss of formatting, but sometimes they reject a file. A tool to validate epubs is epubcheck. LyX-ePubs should validate without errors. I am glad to hear that this is an GSOC project. I wish you the best possible success. Thanks for your work! juh > Discussion on the list is welcome.

Hello,
I found a solution for large legends of large figures.
It is not the LaTeX package dpfloat proposed by Julien, but
the LaTeX package fltpage. It puts a legend on the next page like:
Abbildung 4.10. (preceding page): Hormone kontrollie
Here a short description:
I put in document>settings>latex preamble
%Fig left, caption right
\usepackage[leftFloats]{fltpage}
which told me that fltpage.sty was missing.
A search
locate fltpage.sty
showed me, that is was not in my texlive/2012, but in texlive/2011. I
copied the folder /fltpage/fltpage.sty to the corresponding place in
texlive/2012
in the document (koma book) i used for the figures in question (all in ERT)
e.g.:
\begin{FPfigure}
\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{B068Bn.pdf}
\caption[Kartoffelkäfer: Hormone kontrollieren Diapause]{Hormone
kontrollieren }
\end{FPfigure}
note: [scale=0.5] reduced the size of my figure correctly; you might not
need it or another scaling factor.
note: [Kartoffelkäfer: Hormone kontrollieren Diapause] is a short title;
without it the whole legend is put into the list of figures.
You can stop here reading. But some more details and drawbacks for the
interested reader:
I had at my first attempt errors which I did not know how to handle, but got
rid of them finally by just putting the ERT at a slightly different place. I
tell this just in case somebody runs into a similar situation.
Secondly, the legend does not change
(preceding page)
into the German
(vorige Seite)
and I don't know how to change it.
e.g:
Abbildung 4.10. (preceding page): Hormone kontrollieren
should be
Abbildung 4.10. (vorige Seite): Hormone kontrollieren
Thirdly, the ERT figure is not given in the Lyx document under
list of figures
although in the pdf output the numbering is correct. It is a bit annoying,
because the following figures are now miss numbered.
Finally, I want to justify, why I used A5 instead of A4 paper format.
I used before A4, but twocolumn style, because it helps in reading faster.
However, the end of sections, subsections etc end often in an unbalanced
way, i.e. left column full, right column just a few lines, which looks bad.
The multicol style could help, but it puts the headings over one column,
which I don't like, and a few more drawbacks which I mentioned in earlier
postings.
Another reason is, that A5 is better readable in EBooks (especially in
respect to the figures) - and there is hope that LyX will be able to produce
those...
Thanks for your patients and help,
Wolfgang
