Hi,

1. Which index processor do you use? Check Tools > Preferences > Output

"Default").

Thanks,

 Hi all,

 I have a C program I want to show in a book. So I use the LyX-Code
 environment, but when I copy the C file to the clipboard and paste
 it into the LyX-Code environment, all the newlines are removed.
 What's the right way to show a C program file within LyX?

 Thanks,

Thanks Daniel. I'm not sorry: It's adventures like this that keep me on
my toes. Also, I don't ask on the list until I've done significant
research.

Until somebody gets around to "fixing" it, which at this point would
mess up those used to the current behavior, it could be treated as a
documentation problem.

It would be interesting to put it on a page titled "The Top 20
Unexpected Behaviors in LyX". That page could be prominently linked to
by many other pages.

I'm so used to LyX that I long ago forgot the other 19 :-).
