Now I need some guidance on how to use the tilde-over-A as a subscript in
an inline equation. I typed this:
\textrm{\~ A }=\{(x,\mu_{\textrm{\~ A}}(x))|(x\in U)\}
$\mathaccent`~A=\{(x,\mu_{\mathaccent`~A}(x))|(x\in U)\}$
mark it with the cursor and hit ctrl-m, then it will be
converted to math.
your solution also works, when you put it between the $ ...$
the equation. I don't know if the "\textrm{\~A}" should be in another set of
curly braces.
this doesn't looks good, when A is a kind of variable and
s'hould be in italic mode. \mathaccent`~A is the better way.

But unfortunatly i ran into the next problem.
If i rotate my longtables with the landscape mode, i cannot attach any
caption to them because they are not in float environments anymore. If i
put them into floats they loose their "long-property" somehow.
it is a longtable which shouldn't be placed inside a
float. And a longtable can have its own caption, but LyX
does not support this. :-( The best way is to export LyX to
LaTeX, copy only the table part into an own file (longtable.tex),
then insert the caption into the longtable, e.g.
\begin{longtable}{|c|l|c|l|l|}\hline
1 & \textbf{Spalte 2} & \textbf{Spalte 3} & \textbf{Spalte 4}&
\textbf{Spalte 5}\\\hline
\caption{TV-Evaluierung der Modelle}\label{TV-Evaluierung der Modelle}
\end{longtable}
Inside LyX import this file with Insert->Include File with
Type input and in Layout-Y Document->Preamble
write \usepackage{longtable}
Then all should work well.

Every math environment has its sense and in this case, one
equation over several lines, its multline. Compare the
horizontal alignment with the other environments.
And in the last example you get different sizes
of the equations, also no error, but looks ugly.
Thank's for the example file, I uploaded it as well.

This is no hack, it is the LaTeX way of getting right

As seminar.cls is no longer maintained by the author, fixing it upstream

I do not think that this is the right way to create a special

I just tried it and it gave me a wrong conversion. The
\makebox is important here, otherwise you get an ugly
horizontal spacing around the equal sign. So just try
to unsert it by hand.

Re: Table-float footnote and float placement
Nirmal Govind wrote: Hi.. I have a footnote within a table in a float. I used the method specified on Herbert's tips page to include the footnote within the table. I have the placement of the table float set to default placement. However, with this setting, the footnote appears on the page that preceeds the table (and the table appears at the top of the page that follows the footnote)... the problem goes away if I change the float's placement to "here definitely".. is this a LaTeX shortcoming or is there some way to get the default placement setting to work with the footnote showing up on the correct page? in general it is senseless to have footnotes in _floating_ environments. Nevertheless you can try, if the footnote is set on the same page. It is better to use a minipage inside the float and using the footnote command inside this minipage. Then you do not have any problem. If you use the H-option (a bad option for typesetting), then you do not have a floating environment and the footnote appears on the same page. Herbert
