You might also have a look at Herbert's list at

Do you really want the footnotes to appear on two pages? As Herbert says, you 
can prevent this by using \interfootnotelinepenalty=1 in latex preamble.

I suppose the solution you intend to use is not very professional in terms of 
typography although some word processors support this. TeX tries to avoid it 
- see the UK TeX FAQ at http://www.ntg.nl/doc/fairbairns/newfaq.pdf (Q 218,

What about

As Geoffrey just mentioned, LaTeX (and that also means Lyx) is not really 
designed to produce tables. Nevertheless, I have a document with a longtable 
extended over 33 pages. No problem here.

Beamer user's guide, p. 11:  "... you also have to make LYX aware of the file 
beamer/lyx/layouts/beamer.layout. To do so, link (or, not so good in case of

And even the standard beamer manual says a lot about how to use this

Something like 
htlatex.sh thesis-komascript_article "xhtml,ooffice" "ooffice/! -cmozhtf" 
"-coo"

might be more appropriate. The .sh extension depends on the distribution you 
have, it is useful for SuSE but possibly not for other distributions.

You definitely need them, and you have to adjust the .env file to your system.

Rich,

You may insert a specific page number on any page by using \setcounter{page}
{XXX} as ERT.

Re: Environment choice box

Wolfgang,

Have you enabled the standard toolbar to be shown? You may find out by right-
clicking into the toolbar area.

Sorry for top-posting. If the toolbar is shown the environment choice box 
should be part of it and it should probably appear on top of the vertical 
toolbar. You can move the toolbar by dragging it using your mouse. It will 
change its shape according to the place where you insert it.

Marius,

I can reproduce this behaviour, which seems to be associated with the memoir 
class. Very configurable but tricky, as announced at 
https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/UsingMemoirInLyX .

Is there a specific reason why you are not using scrbook?

Patrick,

I have never made a beamerposter but the documentation says fonts should be 
scalable if using packages such as fp and type1cm. Have you tried these?

Niklas,

The testciting.lyx file just complains for not finding articles.bib, which you 
didn't include in your message. So does the short text from your original 
file. Are you sure you have the correct combination of biblatex and biber 
versions?

Thank you. Sorry, no MikTeX around here, only texlive. Your testciting file 
just needed some fine-tuning. You have to load the biblatex-citation-styles 
module, hide the references in the end of your text, add \printbibliography as 
ERT, and add some stuff to the preamble. What I used here comes from a recent 
paper I wrote, which was in German and followed the APA style. But this is of 
course highly configurable.

My impression is it crashes with any font that needs XeTeX or LuaTeX.

I installed the lyx-debuginfo package from the Publishing project but gdb

Well, it should. The backtrace I posted was the one with the debuginfo. Sorry

Great. Thank you very much. I must admit I have never thought about these

Joel,

I cannot confirm your observation. I have the user guide in German and the 
cross-reference command for GIF you are mentioning correctly creates a list 
entry for “Grafikformate” (image formats). This is LyX 2.3.3 and Linux 
(openSUSE).

I understood there should be an index entry for "image formats” (which appears 
in your output correctly referring to p. 71), not for „GIF”.

Wolfgang,

I suspect this is about changes in German orthography around 1996. Does it 
help to set the language to German in the document settings?

In similar situations, I have achieved good results with utf8 both for the

Joel,

The makeidx documentation is rather clear that there should be a primary entry 
for a specific notion (”GIF” in the example) and a second entry for the more 
general category which is referenced (”image formats”). If one of them does 
not appear in the index, the processing does not work as expected. I tried out 
alternative index processors but the result was always the same. So I don't 
have a theory where this behaviour is triggered. I guess you should file a bug 
to get the experts involved.

Isaiah,

Have you tried the marginnote package? I suppose this should work with 
standard as well as KOMA Script document classes.

Could you be a bit more specific about what you were trying and what has not 
worked? And please don't top-post to the list because this tends to look

I'm not sure your screenshots are showing what you mean. On my screen,

Why don't you just export your document via File -> Export? My machine shows me 
five 
options to export to LaTeX but I don't think this depends on the operating

Please don't top-post to keep the thread.

As the tutorial tells you: "Select File->Export->LaTeX. This will create a file 
whatever.tex from 
the whatever.lyx file you are editing.” 

The file will be created in the directory where whatever.lyx resides. 
(Unfortunately this is 
not made explicit in the English version of the tutorial I have installed but 
it is in translations 
such as the German one.)

What was your reason to convert to LaTeX (plain)? In typical cases LaTeX 
(pdflatex) or even 
LaTeX (XeTex) might be a better alternative. This depends on your file 
specifications, which 
we don't know about. And I just learned LaTeXiT was rather an equation editor...

Good morning,

starting from line 847 of your log file you find the following information:

LaTeX Warning: There were undefined references.
Package biblatex Warning: Please (re)run Biber on the file:
(biblatex)biological-evaluation
(biblatex)and rerun LaTeX afterwards.

Rich,

I'm aware what a warning is. This one explicitly tells you what to do: you 
have to "run Biber on the file biological-evaluation and rerun LaTeX 
afterwards‟. Biber's messages tend to be very helpful in cases where you don't 
get the bibliography you want.

You might include the following in your preamble:

\renewcommand{\thesection}{\Roman{section}}
\renewcommand{\thesubsection}{\Alph{subsection}}
\renewcommand{\thesubsubsection}{\arabic{subsubsection}}
\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithout{paragraph}{subsubsection}
\renewcommand{\theparagraph}{\alph{paragraph}}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{4}

If you prefer to indent the headings, you will need further adjustments. Of 
course this way of sectioning is not only relevant for speeches but also for 
some journal submissions.

Colin,

the developer of tex4ht recommends to use the most recent version to be found 
at http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/bugfixes.html.

The *.lg file is a script supposed to be produced by tex4ht; see

g-brief and LaTeX Errors

[Axel Dessecker]

Hello,

I am currently writing a long letter of several pages using the g-brief 
document class. Although long letters should be possible, a LaTeX error 
occurs at the end of the document if the letter exceeds one page. It says: 
"Something's wrong - perhaps a missing \item." There is just the letter text 
there, no list environment. Any ideas?

Thank you.

I can confirm that LyX 2.3.6.1 perfectly works with TeXLive 2021. As for the

Rich,

scrpage2.sty has been deprecated for nine years or so. If it's in your 
preamble, just delete it or try the replacement suggested at

If I get you right, you are struggling with coloured formulas. See subsection 
11.3 of the Math manual. I don't know if bug #5269 is still around.

No problem here. This is LyX 2.3.7, openSUSE Leap 15.4. Do you have a recent

refstyle.cfg is twelve years old and it still works, which implies some 
stability. I would rather suspect a font issue but haven't found the culprit.

Hal,

This instruction is misleading indeed. My version says you should try 
Alt+Enter+Right.

Vertical alignment in tables

[Axel Dessecker via lyx-users]

Hi,

Thank you for table improvements in 2.4.0. Unfortunately I still have problems 
to vertically align text.

In the MWE, row 3 is shown to be vertically centered but this does not seem to 
work. From column 3 to the right, all cells in this row are correctly shown as 
vertically top-aligned but I'm not allowed to change this.

I have 2.4.1, openSUSE Leap 15.5.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Axel
